Which sentence contains an agreement error in an uncontracted existential there construction?

  1. There is a spare blanket in the cupboard.
  2. There are several cyclists outside the station.
  3. There is two unlabelled parcels on the desk.Respuesta correcta
  4. There was enough fuel for the return journey.

Explicación

Two unlabelled parcels is a plural notional subject, so the sentence needs there are rather than there is. The other existential clauses correctly use singular agreement with one item or uncountable material and plural agreement with several cyclists.
